"So, what's this place all about?Beginning in the 1970s, avid beer lover John Milkovisch—a retired railroad worker—began covering his house with his empties. Milkovisch spent 18 years on his project, and the result is staggering. Garlands of tin-can lids hang from the roofline and chime when the breeze flows; fences and a large mailbox have been fashioned from cans; and faded Pabst Blue Ribbon and Budweiser labels from cardboard beer cases artistically line the porch. Situated on a residential street in the Rice Military neighborhood, this glittering bungalow is now surrounded by modern townhouses. What’s the vibe there?Pure kitsch—an estimated 50,000 cans clad this local landmark. Are there guided tours?You can take in all you need to see of the Beer Can House just by driving or walking down the street; for those who'd like to go inside though, tours of the interior cost $5 and touch upon Milkovisch's life and project in more detail. What's the crowd like?Tourists committed to off-the-beaten attractions and neighborhood residents. Did it meet expectations?This is something you have to see to believe. So, then, what, or who, do you think it’s best for?Beer Can House is worth a quick drive-by if it's convenient, especially for beer nerds." - Allison Bagley
